They are supposed to be ok but I thought they were more expensive than the items on their page. Pity there is no data on the torque they will take.

[Rusty]

Did someone run one of these back in the day or is it Pembo in his rally car?

Emailed them for more info...

[Rusty]

Messaged Kestrel for completeness...

I think Steve/knightriders4 had a kestrel clutch on his rs2d 3b. I don't think it was that expensive either.

[andy10v]

Maybe not that cheap

I have just had my 3B clutch remanufactured by Kestrel ..kevlar plated/ground the flywheel to mate with friction plate..very good job!!

Can with stand 400+

£450 and the feels good ...very easy to drive

[Rusty]

SRE is just over 500 and is the current choice so need convincing if it's 50 here or there as they're hardly easy to change...

[Rusty]

Kestrel want £400 + VAT + shipping for a Kevlar clutch, so TBH, the Sachs one isn't much different in price when all added up...

[andy10v]

SRE is proven, you are using it as a benchmark, sounds like a no brainer unless you have big plans for the future?

[Rusty]

Just like to make sure that I spend my money wisely

[Rusty]

Kestrel rate the Helix paddle clutch at 390ftlbs and want £471 + VAT + carriage.

Just bought a SRE Organic clutch from TZR motorsport. 612 euros delivered

[Rusty]

Clutch is here

TZR Motorsport were fine with English and I got a clutch and FW bolts delivered for 20 euros less than the list price on sachs performance webpage. Some other tasty stuff on their site too, including ARPs and no import tax to pay!
